Romans 10:13-15 reminds us that every person can call upon Christ to be saved. But- no one will call upon Him until they have heard of Him. And so, it is incumbent upon the Church to go out to the corners of the earth and proclaim Christ.
SOS Ministries in Kubamitwe, Uganda is doing just that.
Our church’s short-term mission team of 16 experienced firsthand the great gospel work this whole operation is accomplishing.
On the grand scale, we saw over 500 gather weekly for worship, 800 children learning God’s Word at school, and 120 men preparing to pastor churches across Uganda and beyond.
On a small scale, we had dinner in the home of Benard and Sophie and their 8 children (pictured). Enemies of God 15 years ago, Shannon invited them to church 8 times before they finally came. And God transformed them. They now fear God, and raise their large family to love and follow Christ.
Another story: Sophia. She is a 7th grader at Legacy School. Her parents recently left each other for an adulterous lifestyle. But thanks to the worldview she has been taught at Legacy, she knows this is wrong. She tells us she is choosing Jesus over her parents. That she will live for Christ no matter what. The school is training a small army of souls to live for Christ in the midst of a perverse generation.
God is at work in every corner of this globe to save souls. And He uses people like you. Be encouraged: your prayers and support are making a difference! In the bush of Uganda, God is saving many, many souls.
